Corporeal Gestures: Fragmentary Explorations in the Cultivation of the Human Body

Location

Shattuck Hall, 1914 SW Park Avenue, Portland, Oregon
Second Floor

Cost / Admission

Free

Corporeal Gestures, organized by School of Architecture professor Clive Knights, is an international exhibition of collage art created in response to nine "muses," characterized as the shared bodily necessities of breathing, nourishing, sleeping, discharging waste, procreating, resisting the earth’s pull, communicating, aging and dying. The exhibition of over 120 collages brings together work by invited artists and work selected in a worldwide open call. The project challenged collage artists to consider how human action is pre-figured in the horizons opened up by the ineluctable processes of the animate human body; how human relations are preempted by these corporeal capacities; how one’s body is activated in the world – acting, gesturing, making – amidst the shared rhythms pertaining to our common, mortal predicament in a single, unfolding cosmos.

Exhibition on view April 4 through 29, 2022
First Thursday reception April 7, 2022
